I just found out that Umi Cafe, the newest awesome small poetry venue in town, has run into financial trouble. Despite having a load of fans and patrons who have been crowding in for the slams and poetry shows, live music and their great vibe... the bus strike is taking its toll and some of their investors have pulled out. They need to raise about $5000 by the end of the week.
Go on down, have a cup of coffee, show some love. I'm sure some of the cafe's committed community will be doing what they can to save this space... keep an eye out for events. I'll try and keep track of them.
